Radar contact made with moon by signalmen
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24—(IP) —Army Signal Corps scientists have made radar contact with the moon, opening up the possibility of radar exploration of the moon and planets and control of long-range rocket weapons and space shops, the War Department disclosed tonight.
Contact was established on Jan. 10 with special equipment set up at the Evans Signal laboratory, Belmar, N. J.	,
High frequency pulses were sent out in half-second pauses at five second intervals. The pulses, reflected back to the earth from the moon were recorded in about two and one-half seconds.
That represented the time required for the radio waves, traveling at 186,000 miles per second— equal to the speed of light—to reach the moon and return.
Astronomers calculate the average distance between earth and moon at 238.85“ miles.
Maj. Gen. Harry C. Ingles, chief signal officer, said the announcement was withheld until the original contact was confirmed beyond doubt by later experiments.
Musical groups plan assembly
The combined men and women's Glee club, under the direction of Charles Hirt, will present its annual assembly on Jan. 31 at 4 p.m. in Bovard auditorium.
This is a new time schedule for such musical assemblies. The change in time was requested by President Rufus B von KleinSmid who thinks that 4 p.m. will be an excellent time to relax after the day's work.
The concert will include a group of well-known songs among which will be "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.’’ “There Are Such Things.” and
"Strange Music.” The program
will include 150 people in its cast and will be a small part of the spring show which is to be announced in the near future.
The same show will be put on for .the Corona Naval hospital in its new auditorium Feb. 1.
All students are invited to this assembly. Admission is free, and tickets may be obtained through the School of Music.

Two buffet dinners and Ray Davis and his orchestra will be featured at the annual naval trainees’ dance tomorrow night at 8:30 at the Deauville Beach club.
Capt. S. Y. Cutler, commanding officer of the naval reserve officers training corps unit and Cmdr. T. E.-Chambers,
and Capt. W. H. Godel will receive the guests at the dance.
Special liberty until 2:30 a.m. will be given to all trainees to attend the affair, making it possible for the navy men to enjoy a long evening.
"This is the dance that naval trainees look forward to, because it is fast becoming ‘the’ dance of the year,” stated Gene Matson, member of the dance committee. The dance committee is expecting a large crowd.
“The idea of two buffet dinners came to us when we realized that we were going to have a large crowd,” said Chuck Franklin of

It is rumored that Janet Lees was seen hovering 10 feet over Bridge hall late yesterday afternoon. The only explanation that can be offered for this unusual occurrence is that Miss Lees is taking her part in the SC drama department’s latest production "Blithe Spirit,” very seriously.
In the play, Miss Lees has the
"Holding the two dinners one hour apart, will help to avoid crowded conditions during serving time,” continued Franklin. Servings will be at 9:30 and 10:30 p.m.
Bids for the dance have been selling fast and according to Franklin, the $1 ducats may still be bought from Skip McMahon, Gene Matson,' or Jack Jennings in the navy barracks.

one of the highlight campus events of the year since 1924,: the SC Apolliad will be omitted this year, according to announcement by Mrs. Tacie Hanna Rew, who has served as chairman of the program for many years.
Omission of the program j was decided upon because of increased enrollment which has placed greater burdens upon the administration and faculty members, President Rufus B. von KleinSmid announced. It was also announced that both Mrs. Rew and Cloyde Dal-zell, co-chairman of the event in 1945, are suffering illnesses which will prevent their guidance of the 1946 program.
Other members of the speech department have heavy duties and would be unable to direct the Apolliad this spring, according to the president.
Both Dr. Von KleinSmid and Mrs. Rew expressed convictions that the program would be continued in 1947.
Mrs. Rew expressed hopes that any interested students who planned to submit manuscripts for the I94fi program should be permitted to enter those same manuscripts in the 1947 Apolliad. Such procedures will be passed upon by the Apolliad committee at a later date.
Students who have manuscripts that were originally written for this year’s Apolliad may submit them to the speech office, where they shall be retained until action is taken upon the foregoing proposal.
An informal conference with Capt. Roger Murdock of the Angeles Police department will be held next Thursday rnoon at 3:15 by students interested in the field of police nee and administration.
The conference is the first of a series that the police

Couin government hints Franco break
PARIS, Jan. 24.—(U.P.)—The government being formed by provisional president Felix Gouin is committed in advance to an immediate break in diplomatic relations with the Spanish government of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, it was
made known today.
Terms of the agreement among communists, socialists, and popular republicans for the coalition government, call for putting into effect the assembly’s resolution to break off relations which was passed last week.
The resolution caused immediate reaction in Spain. Franco promised to seal the border if relations were broken and to station
considerable troops there as
guards.
The government of Gen. Charles DeGaulle delayed putting the resolution into effect, apparently planning to seek joint action with Britain and the United States.
Geology students plan scouting trip
An all-day field trip down Arroyo Seco is in store for geology students of Dr. Hoyt R Gale, assistant professor of geology. Scheduled for tomorrow, a side trip will also be taken to Eagle Rock, which, according to Dr. Gale, is itself a study of erosion.
Members of the class who participate in the trip are reminded to bring their lunches and to wear old clothes and hiking boots.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24—(UP)—Two unions balked tonight at returning to work in packing plants to be seized Saturday by the Federal government and the nation’s meat supply, already dangerously low, dwind-dled steadily with most production sources cut off.
To build up the badly depleted meat supply—lowest in history in many sections of the nation—President Truman ordered Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson to seize 134 meat packing plants operated by 17 companies at 12:01 a.m. Saturday, and to operate them under terms and conditions of employment in effect at that time.
But the AFL Amalgamated Meat Cutters union had announced it would not go back to work even for the government unless assured that the federally-appointed fact-finding panel would make any wage Increases retroactive to Jan, 26—date of seizure. And the CIO United Packinghouse workers summoned local representatives to meet here tomorrow to plan what action to take. It was freely predicted among labor circles that the meeting would follow the AFL policy.
Both unions were silent on Mr. Truman’s authorization of the War Department to furnish protection for plants and personnel and to prevent interference with operations if necessary. The AFL union leaders said they would have to study the seizure order before commenting. The CIO union headquarters said no statement could be made until after tomorrow’s meeting.
Meanwhile Gayle G. Armstrong, Roswell, N. M., rancher appointed by Secretary of Agriculture Anderson to operate the strikebound packinghouses, was to arrive here today to begin preparations for the seizure. He was accompanied by 10 aides.
The AFL Amalgamated Meat Cutters today renounced a statement that the union had ordered its 65.000 to 70.000 members to call off their share of the nation-wide meat strike. The union told its members to await further orders from headquarters.
The CIO union packinghouse workers previously had called a meeting of local union delegates tomorrow to decide whether to send its more than 200,000 packing plant workers back to their jobs when the government takes over.
Earl W. Jimerson, president of the AFL union, said the fact the union had told its members not to go back to work until further orders did not necessarily mean they would not return to their jobs under government operation.
Singer added to vet dance
Coeds, wives invited to ‘Separation Stomp’
as Trovets present Initial entertainment
i *
The all-veteran dig tonight will feature vocalist Ruth Hawley and Bob Osgood, comic entertainer. The dig, which will be held in the student lounge of the Student Union will be held by veterans that have said goodby to khaki and “hup.
two, three, and four.”
Still counting to four, but this time to the sweet music of the Ray Davis orchestra instead of the rasping voice of a drill sergeant, veterans attending SC will hold their “Separation Stomp.” Dancing will begin at 8:30 p.m. and continue until 11 p.m.
Decorative posters bearing out the separation from the armed forces theme, and depicting the services performed while still in khaki will adorn the student lounge. The Trovets are being assisted by the AWS in this, their first all-veteran dig.
Coeds from many sororities and the various dorms will attend to help the vets in their coming out dance.
“There was a rumor going around that only four women from each sorority would be invited, but I would like to say that all v -en students are invited,” stated Chuck Antis, publicity chairman for Trovets.
The question that popped into the minds of many students when they heard that the Ray Davis orchestra would play in two places Friday night, has now been answered. There are two Ray Davis orchestras. Trovets have signed one and the navy boys the other.
It was pointed out by Koseff that the music will be predominantly “sweet swing.” “There wUl be some jumping pieces, but the majority of the pieces wiU be on the soft side,” said Koseff.
Married vets may bring their wives, but vets without dates are urged to attend stag.
The dance is to be informal and all those attending are asked to dress accordir'ly by the Trovet social chairman. Refreshments will be served, including cookies and cokes.
Bob Osgood and Ruth Hawley, professional entertainers will be on hand to add to the success of the dig. Osgood will be featured as a mimic. According to Koseff, Osgood is adept at mimicking along with phonograph records. Hawley will be the vocalist for the evening.
Bombay police resort to guns in Indian riots
Mass demonstrations cost at least 10 dead; many police injured
BOMBAY. Jan 24—(UP)—Police for the second time in 24 hours fired upon Indian rioters blocking traffic and jeering at Europeans today in mass demonstrations which have cost at least 10 dead and 46 injured.
Gunfire began at 1 p.m. when a riotous mob set fire to a street car. In neighboring streets the officers used tear gas. The fire was put out despite the efforts of Indian watchers on neighboring roofs to keep the police away with volleys of stones.
The surge of restless Indian crowds through the streets began Wednesday when a procession got . under way to observe the 50th birthday of Subhas Chandra Bose.

Dr. Thomas Clements, professor 1 of geology, lectured to more than ; 200 people yestereay in Hancock j on the subject “The Geologic His-i tory of the Channel Islands Region,
! Southern California.”
Dr. Clements, who has been work-; ing on the sedimentation of the area since 1939. was the 13th speak-! er of the annual research lecture of the School of Research.
The Channel Is:and region of Southern California inchides the continental shelf area south of the Santa Barbara coast line and west of the Los Angeles and San Diego coast line, extending off shore approximately 150 miles. According to Dr. Clements, “The sea floor of this region is by no means the conventional gently-sloping relatively featureless continental shelf of some parts of the world. It consists of great ridges and deep troughs, some of the latter having depths of 3000 to 6000 feet, with the islands mantling the crests
of the ridges to heights of as much as 8000 feet above.”
“The geologic problems in the channel island area are manifold,” stated Dr. Clements, “and as yet the evidence at hand is far too meager to allow the satisfactory solution of any of them. Nevertheless, certain facts have come to light as the result of research and it is possible at this time to suggest at least to some of the questions, answers that probably are not far from the truth.”
Some of these questions are: has the region always been submerged, is the region rising or sinking at the present time, and what may happen in the future?
In answer to these questions, Dr. Clements stated, “The types of evidence used in the solution of these problems are varied. There is first the direct geologic evidence of the rocks as exposed on the islands and shore of the mainland. A somewhat less easily
attained type of geologic evidence Is that from the sea floor, as brought up in dredge and core barrel.”
“The physiographic features of .the region tell somecmng of its history in the not too distant past: the wave cut terraces, the sea cliffs, the submarine valleys, and the submarine banks. Fossils tell their part of the story also, the dwarfed elephants of the northern islands, the fossil plants, and the shells in rocks and on terraces.”
Dr. Clements divided his speech into three different time eras, Franciscan, T o p a n g a-Temblor, and Pleistocene. These eras were chosen because of the amount of information available, and the significance of the eras.
According to Dr. Clements, the area around the channel islands were submerged about the beginning of the ice age. The formation of the glaciers drew the water from the sea, and this area emerged. The
whole area was at one time an archipelago, and the Palos Verdes hills were an island. The smaller islands of the area were completely submerged.
Dr. Clements further stated that, “The whole area is of both sedimentary and igneous composition, and there is a tremendous amount of lava throughout the islands and the sea floor. This shows that the area was built up through volcanic action, and sedimentary deposits.”
Preceeding the lecture President Von KleinSmid gave a short talk on the future of research activities.
Df. Clements speech was followed by a reception in President Von KleinSmid's suite. Mrs. Emory S. Bogardus and Mrs. Thomas Clements poured tea. President Von KleinSmid. Dr. Bogardus, Dr. Clements, and Val Lehnberg, past president of the Graduate School student body, made up the receiving line.
Hindman tells import of race problem cure
Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, assistant professor of political science, discussed “America’s Race Problem, an International Question,” at a noon meeting of the Cosmopolitan club yesterday at the YWCA.
Emphasizing the fact that the United States must set
an example for other nations, Dr.
Hindman said, “The Chinese people will look to us for industrialization. I We have treated them as equals for j

Dr. Hindman further stated that failure to carry out our responsibility in this line has been demonstrated in the '••ct that the UNO can not find a community in the United States, which is free of race prejudice, to be the world capitol.
“Unless the hidden pages in the history of this nation are re-written in the form of better racial and religious adjustments for the future, the United States may be cheated out of a chance to parade on the world stage as the stellar performer,” stated Dr. Hindman.

Taking a step to help provide recreational facilities for SC students, especially veterans, on campus, the university administration has announced that the Student Lounge has been turned over to student groups on two Friday nights of each month. Tentative plans call for a juke box and punch to be provided by the university.
Trovets will take advantage of the offer tonight with the Separation Stomp. Other student groups who are interested in using the facilities must contact Miss Ada English, secretary to President Rufus B. von KleinSmid. before permission can be granted.
The Trovets, under Milton Buck, president, have been striving this term to secure recreational facilities for veterans living near campus.
